MORRISTOWN – Renters know the drill – choose the perfect location then find the right amount of space and parking. While that may sound easy, there are plenty of choices and for many, Morristown has become affectionately known as “Hoboken West” with its direct trains to New York, easy access to major commuting routes, thriving apartment scene, numerous restaurants and bars, and every convenience around the renowned Morristown Green. Within in this location have popped up some truly unique, boutique apartment buildings that offer a little more flair, space and free parking than the traditional larger complexes.

According to Broker Sales Associate Jacqueline Rossi Greene of Coldwell Banker in Mendham, one such building is Morristown Gateway, an upscale, mid-rise building comprised of two-bedrooms, two full bath apartments at 12 Ridgedale Ave. by JMOC Builders.

“With only 19 apartments on three floors, this newer elevator building has that ‘wow’ factor like those found in the more luxury units in New York and Hudson County. It offers renters more square footage per price than comparable apts in the area. Residents enjoy world-class quality construction with marble floors in the beautiful lobby area, hardwood floors in the open living space, a chef-inspired kitchen with granite countertops, espresso maplewood cabinetry with soft-close drawers and stainless-steel appliances, a large walk-in closet, and in-unit washer and dryer. There are two soothing tiled baths, 9-foot ceilings, sliders to a Juliette balcony, and plenty of windows to bring in natural light," Rossi Green said.

Apartments at Morristown Gateway range from 969 to more than 1,400 square feet and are priced from $2,850 a month, with immediate availability.

Another building that has brought a So-Ho flair to Morristown is the popular Lofts at Morristown, a chic collection of one- and two-bedroom, two full bath loft-style apts at 10 Ford Ave by Lofts at Morristown LLC..

“Soaring 12 to 16 foot ceilings, exposed beams and duct work, modern pendant, chandeliers and recessed lighting, and spiral staircases on the first floor apts are just some of the stunning features of this newer collection of only 30 in a renovated brick building,” explains Sales Associate Pamela Principe Golgolab of Coldwell Banker Mendham. “While each apt has its own unique character, some with loft-style bedrooms and others with balconies and dens, they offer an open living concept, walls of
windows, wood and tile floors, sleek tiled baths, ceiling fans, numerous closets, and a chef’s kitchen with espresso or white cabinetry, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. Apts also include a full sizewasher and dryer.”

Apartments at the Lofts at Morristown range from 708 to more than 1,340 square feet. Apartments available for November are priced from $2,850 a month.

Coming soon to the Morristown apartment scene is George Street Commons, a collection of only 18 apts in two, three floor, walk-up buildings reminiscent of New York brownstones at 10 George Street by Zimmer Companies.

Sales Associate Norman Herms of Coldwell Banker Mendham said, “These
spacious two-bedroom, two-full-bath apts will offer a wonderful, open front-to-back living concept with wood floors, designer kitchen, tiled baths and in-unit washer and dryer. Since they are individual buildings, residents will enjoy more windows, including bay windows in select apartments, to enjoy park and Morristown views.”

Apartments at George Street Commons will be available for tours in November.
Apartments will be approximately 1,050 square feet and will be priced from
$2,100 a month. A VIP list is forming now.

All three of these newer boutique apt buildings offer free on-site parking and are pet friendly for additional fees.
